RE: serializer for hashmap

[Michael Oliver]

The problem is not so much the serialization of the Hashmap or Hashtable as it is the objects within them.   The JavaBean Encode and Decode will create XML to/from a JavaBean with a getter and setter for a Hashmap or Hashtable, but if there is an object stored in the Hashmap or Hashtable that is not serializable also with the JavaBean Encode/Decode methods then you are scrod and you must write your own.   Michael Oliver CTO Alarius Systems LLC 3325 N.

I mean, I was seeing the encoding example provided but that is only for some basic Object types I think, correct me if I am wrong.   Please help me with this.,   Pritesh   -- All Computers wait at the same speed !!
